Who Gets the Croup Nowadays?
My son, as it turns out. He came down with a fever this last Thursday afternoon and whatever he had finally developed into croup last night. He’s asthmatic, but had somehow managed to avoid getting this nasty sounding ailment. That is, until last night, when he woke up at 9pm unable to breathe well. My wife and I, after trying a dose of albuterol, bundled him up and drove him to the ER. 5 or so hours later, we were able to come back home as he responded well to treatment.
Needless to say, we’re all tired tonight.
